A museum packed full of fascinating memories from Chelsea Football Club's glorious history has been revamped.

Over the summer, the Chelsea FC museum in Stamford Bridge, Fulham Road, has benefited from a face lift, costing thousands of pounds. The redesigned exhibition, which had to close for two months during the work, now includes new exhibits and state-of-the-art interactive technology and will be officially relaunched next Thursday.

Treasures such as Petr Czech's head guard, Jose Mourinho's coat, and a display about William 'Fatty Foulke' spark memories of the mighty Blues.

Silverware from throughout the ages, including the club's 1955 Championship cup and photo album covering the years 1905 to 1955 are also displayed - next to a carpet laid down during May's less successful Champion's League Final against Manchester United in Moscow. Avram Grant's medal from that match is also displayed. Grant threw it into the crowd after the loss, but the fan who caught it gave it to the museum.

Former Fulham resident and guide Ed Douglas has delighted fans for five years with his gag-filled tour of the grounds. The party organiser speaks numerous languages, including French, Spanish and Portuguese. "We get lots of local school children coming here and on weekends it's full of English fans," he said. "I love doing this and really enjoy it."

Len Nodaros, nick-named 'Legend', is in his 10th season at the museum. A lifelong Chelsea fan, he lives near Edgware Road, Paddington, and is the man in the know about Chelsea FCs' vital statistics. He takes tours and lends a hand at the museum. Standing beside a packed trophy cabinet, he said: "I've supported Chelsea since I was five, despite my dad wanting me to support Man U. I remember us winning in Europe in 1998. It was brilliant and fantastic. We hit the big time."
